We had a huge treat today at Windmill, as the local Somalian community helped us to have a taste of their wonderful cooking. We were joined by the lovely folk from Gateway to Nature, who helped with harvesting and cooking to create a potato and bean dish using Somalian spices and a fabulous salad, to go with chicken and rice which were brought by members of the local Somalian youth group.

Harvesting the beans |
The weather also turned wonderfully warm so we had a delicious meal in perfect conditions. Even better, the blackberries are amazing this year, so we picked a huge bowl-full and had that with greek yoghurt. What a treat!
Thank you to everyone who helped make the day work so well.
